My life in words and pictures

Category Archives: Wander Lusting

I enjoyed sleeping this week. That is odd, for me. When I had anxiety episodes last year, it was very hard to sleep, I could only manage about 2 hours of shut eye and I would be awake the whole day. Now a full 8 hours plus an extra one makes me feel well rested.

I woke up and got online. My internet provider sucks, as most in the Philippines does. There is no good internet signal. I have to be here very early in the morning to get a post in and do some surfing. Hmmph.

In a few minutes I will sleep some more until its time for an early breakfast around 7am. Life is good.

Wonton Noodle Soup

Siomai

Breakfast in a Sunday Farmers’ Market

I will get the Sunday paper, probably go to the farmers’ market and have a good noodle soup with siomai. Wonderful. It’s really free falling today with a couple of chores like giving my kitchen top a good clean up and bathroom scrub. Typical condo cleaning.\

Later I will read about yoga and do some poses. A nap after sounds decadent, but I may go for it, too. See?

I choose to do all of these instead of worrying about work, or getting upset about an absentee father coming back into my family’s life and intruding into our senses. I will take things one day at a time and be detached to desired outcomes.

I was on the YM with a friend and we were discussing healthy living. He mentioned that he needed to drink fruit shakes and head down to Jamba Juice. I said “there is one here in Manila that has just opened but I haven’t gone yet, though some friends were at the opening several weeks ago”. He said, “its a good juice bar” and that I should check it out. Well, I did and here is my Jamba Juice experience.

BHS

Bonifacio High Street, the main street retail complex in The Fort has expanded. It is called BHS Central.

Central

BHS Extension

Urban Amphitheater

It is double the size of BHS and has 4 buildings of creative office suits, retail spaces, chef-based dining outlets plus avant garde/fashion forward boutiques. All within a picturesque greenery and open park. It has an urban amphitheater, interactive water plaza, play fountain and water curtain cascades.

You can be sure there will be a lot of special events scheduled here next year.

C2 Building

Even before this structure is fully operational, you will see on the ground floor tables with bright yellow umbrellas standing prominently.

For sometime, as a domestic violence survivor, I had been stuck in the past. It was horrific, life stopping and a totally draining experience. But I came out of it with nothing but my broken self that I knew I would piece together again one day. The time it took to grieve and accept the loss is exactly what is needed, and I am not about to question that.

I am now in the present. I know that the moment I am, I will make an effort of connecting to myself this way.

This blog is born at a time that the chaos in my life is about making the changes about me. There is no one else involved. It is my personal time. I can do anything I want, go anywhere it suits me and just live it up. I do have a lot of lofty pursuits lined up.

But I start where I am and with what I’ve got. I have to be patient and let the process unfold.
